PARK CLASSIFICATIONS

Mini Park*Mini Parks meet the need for a walkable, drop-in recreation experience. Appropriate elements in these parks include playgrounds, picnic areas, and seating. These parks usually do not include parking. Used to address limited, isolated, or unique recreational needs.

Neighborhood Park*Neighborhood Parks remain the basic unit of the park system and are generally designed for informal active and passive recreation and community gathering spaces. Elements in these parks often include playgrounds, picnic areas, sports fields, and trail systems. Neighborhood Parks serve as the recreational and social focus of the neighborhood.

Community Park*Community Parks focus on meeting community-wide recreation needs. These parks preserve unique landscapes, and often serve the community as gathering places and general athletics. Elements in these parks include playgrounds, pavilions, trails and path systems, multiple sport courts and fields. Serves broader purpose than neighborhood park. Focus is on meeting community-based recreation needs, as well as preserving unique landscapes and open spaces.

Natural Area*Conservation and wildlife areas, wooded areas, and waterways that are maintained for the most part in their natural state.

Special Use*Special Use Facilities focus on meeting community-wide recreation needs. Often, these spaces, both indoor and outdoor, are designed as single-use recreation activities. Examples of Special Use Facilities include golf courses, nature centers, recreation centers, and museums. Areas for specialized or single purpose recreational activities. Generally designed for active recreation and focus on meeting community-based recreation needs.

Trails, Corridors, and Linear Parks*

Effectively tie park system components together to form a continuous park environment.

Undeveloped ParkLands owned by the agency, but not yet developed with any amenities to provide meaningful access to the site such as trails, seating areas, and other passive and active recreation amenities.

* from NRPA’s Park, Recreation, Open Space and Greenway Guidelines.

Less than 0.25 mile distance in a residential setting.

0.25 to 0.5 mile distance and uninterrupted by non-residential roads and other physical barriers.

Determined by the quality and suitability of the site. Usually serves two or more neighborhoods and 0.5 to 3 mile distance.

Service radius is unlimited.

Between 0.6 and 0.9 acres in size.

Based on current trail assets, 12% of the population lives within 0.5-mile of a trail connection. When all proposed trails are complete, 96% of Northbrook Park District residents will live within 0.5-mile of a trail connection.

Amenities

In addition to park acreage and distribution, another measure of Level of Service is the total recreation amenities available to residents. These benchmarks come from the Illinois Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) and Park and Recreation Operating Ratio and Geographic Information System (PRORAGIS).

Executive Summary Report

Northbrook Park District 2016 Community Survey Executive Summary Report

Overview and Methodology

ETC Institute administered a community survey for the Northbrook Park District during January and February of 2016. The survey was administered as part of the Park District’s community-based planning process to update the Comprehensive Master Plan, which will help guide the District for the next 10 years. Methodology. A six-page survey was mailed to a random sample of households throughout the Northbrook Park District. The mailed survey included a postage paid return envelope and a cover letter. The cover letter explained the purpose of the survey, encouraged residents to return their surveys in the mail, and provided a link to an online survey for those that preferred to fill out the survey online. Approximately 10 days after the surveys were mailed, residents who received the survey were contacted by phone. Those who indicated that they had not returned the survey by mail or completed it online were given the option of completing it by phone. The goal was to receive at least 600 completed surveys. This goal was far exceeded, with a total of 723 households completing a survey. The results for the random sample of 723 households have a 95% level of confidence with a precision of at least +/3.6%.

In order to better understand the needs of residents in different areas of the Park District, ETC Institute geocoded the home address of respondents to the survey. The map to the right shows the physical distribution of respondents to the resident survey based on the location of their home.

Executive Summary Report

This report contains the following: a summary of the methodology for administering the survey and major findings charts showing the overall results of the survey (Section 1) benchmarking data that shows how the results for the Northbrook Park District compare to other communities on both a national and regional basis (Section 2) priority investment rating that identifies priorities for facilities and programs (Section 3) tabular data showing the overall results for all questions on the survey (Section 4) a copy of the cover letter and survey instrument (Section 5)
